Agreed. Though my parents were less than pragmatic in consistency of such things, I'm glad I got to shoot and know the real thing, it's evolved into a very cool hobby, skill and appreciation for them.
I think my parents are the reason I enjoy guns so much.
My Dad bought me a toy rifle when I was 4 or 5...the kind that goes ratatatat when you pull the trigger. I remember they were arguing in the next room and I wanted them to stop so I ran in and pointed my gun in the door...ratatatat. Lol my crazy mom grabbed the thing out of my hands and smashed it against the wall.
She never liked guns...you know...Massachusetts...teacher...liberal. I'm sure if I ran in and threw a teddy bear at them she wouldn't have done a thing.
In any case the fact that I remember it from that young age means it must have had an impact on me....I wonder if I like guns in rebellion to that episode and the constant anti gun talk here in MA.
Nah..lol I think I like guns cause they're awesome.
